I’ll start it off

1. First Year with a season pass since high school, don’t have to worry about choosing between beer\food\gas and a  40$ day pass on pow days.


2. New boots, the last 3 years I’ve rode with 3-5 sets of el cheapo Wal-Mart insoles to try and control wicked heal lift  from my packed out 2003 Salomons. I have a new pair of 09 DC’s from steep and cheep with all the bells and whistles.


3. Weekend girlfriend that knows how to ride and can keep up, nuff said.


4. Lost 10lbs hopefully my fat ass will move down the hill a little faster and land a little softer this year.

Well, for me, I went through a divorce last winter/spring.  So my goals had to increase a bit to top previous ones, but also because I no longer have anyone telling me not to "waste" money :)
 
1) 100 days riding, with Dr.-ordered rests being the only exception (I don't plan to get injured, just like everyone else).  My previous best was 85 days two years back.
 
2) 3 trips out west and 1 to the U.P., versus my typical Shred-Fest only trip.  I plan to hit J-Hole and Tahoe for the first times as well :)
 
3) NOT breaking another Tanker 200!  After two snaps last season, I do not want to lose my final warrantied board.
 
4) Some serious pow out west....but that is beyond my control.
 
5) Riding the Dictator Chutes at Big Sky at the very least, but hopefully hiking the ridge at Bridger Bowl.
 
6) Hucking my meat off a cliff at J-Hole.  Not sure of any details, but it needs to happen.
 
7) NOT acquiring a stalker or knocking someone up....
 
8) Have a blast and make tons of new friends and memories!
 
That's about it :)  I hope to check off at least 7 of those...

Ride now, work later!
All work and no play is totally missing the point.

That is about to happen... lookin at 2 feet in the next couple days! ;)
 
I am awake way too early and bored so I thought I'd stop by ol sb.com and see what my midwest friends r up to ( who i miss dearly)...  and thought i'd chime in.
 
I'm looking forward to my first ENTIRE season of colorado (seeing as I only got here mid january)
I am hoping my midwest friends come see me, miss u guys. We can eat ramen, drink cheap beer, and u have free places to stay. u can do it!
Making some friends at the on mtn medical facilities(not thru injuries), I need an in for a job next year!
Riding my new Never Summer Lotus with rocker camber(my bf loves me!) in this weeks pow.

I have some trips scheduled out west and I get to ride & hang out with the coolest people :)))
I might even check out new resorts if I don't get my season pass...
 
I have a feeling this season is going to be even better than the last one =)
